my first attempt at 120 gallon plywood tank

[smichael]

Ok, I'm new to this site and after reading and learning on this site, ive decided to start my new plywood tank project. The progress ive made so far has taken me several weeks.Here are some pics of the tank and stand that ive made. The tank is 24'x24'x48". I'll keep posting pictures and comments as I progress.

You can kinda see the overflow ports on the back. Still working on pictures of my diy sump .

I started the Epoxy process, but then it got too cold outside so I moved on to other things until it warms up, like building the sump. I'll post pics of that later. Here is the resin im using. Seems to work pretty good, not much odor but is time comsuming. I'm wearing a respirator just in case.

I am duplicating your design now!

Where did you get the epoxy?

 

[smichael]

Hey, thanks. I got the epoxy from this link,
http://www.shopmaninc.com/resins.html
very affordable and seems to work great. It got kinda cold so I had to put the epoxying part on hold, so im working on my diy sump, ill post pics later.

Ok, it got too cold to continue the epoxy, so I cut and dry fit the plumping for my rubbermaid wet/dry. This is my first attempt at this too, lemme know if ya see any room for improvement. I need to put a valve on the return side I think, in case the pump is too strong for the overflow.

My attempt at mini dursos too. I'm sure I have alot of tweaking ahead of me.
